Many a times there is a need of all family members to travel together. In Indian railway, when you go to do online reservation, there is space to mention only 6 passengers and 3 children.

What can be done if one wants to book more than 6 passenger in Indian Railways, at once?

There is option of FTR (Full Tariff Rate registration) where one can book entire train or 6-7 coaches, but that is useful for very large number of people, and it is used by travel agencies or parties who want to book tickets for 700-1000 people at once.

Here we are talking about relatively small number of people, which are more than 6 in number. Why we are harping on number 6 will be clear by looking at the below shown snapshot of railway reservation form:

You can clearly see that when you want to do railway reservation online, you can provide details (name, age, gender, meal, senior citizen) for maximum of six passengers at irctc.co.in website.
